        Obviously 
          by posting these papers onto the Web I am giving free rein to them all. 
          Copy, photocopy, forward, and use to your heart's content. If they 
          in any way improve a life then it is  well worth the sacrifice. 
        These works

        The creation of, "Life's A Twitch!" occurred prior  to Dr. McKinlay's registration as a psychologist (with the exception of Nix Your Tics!, published in October 2008). As such, much of the content on this website represents the   personal,  anecdotal, and research perspectives of B. Duncan  McKinlay from that time period. To access materials which reflect   his  perspectives    as a mental health professional, visitors  are advised to access the Brake Shop clinic website.  It is Dr. McKinlay's belief that each website  is valid:  unique strengths  and resources stem from each perspective. In the event that any contradictory information exists between  the "Life's A Twitch!" website and the Brake Shop Clinic website,  though, visitors are advised to resolve this contradiction by favouring the latter site.
